    Questions About Coding

    To give a perspective about why coding skills are appreciated: - Excel-spreadsheets work mostly with basic math. One step further is using conditionals like "if X>0 then calculate X^2 otherwise return 0". Bigger step is to include a button that adds a new column and calculates new initial...

    No bandages can I leave it?

    Well... At least I answered to her initial question about whitish layer in a way I understood it, and others suggested other possibilities and dangers to consider. So if she was really interested only about the wound, she got the answer to that. I agree that dwelling further and getting agitated...

    No bandages can I leave it?

    You are right. I realize that having an access to Internet and free-to-join discussion forums is not an indication of even minimal accessible services. I am saying this as an overall comment about the protocol, not meaning to get defensive or anything: How should we act differently? To not...

    No bandages can I leave it?

    Didn't pay attention to this first. Twitching is worrying. Could the wound be so deep that you have a nerve damage? To a doctor! Honestly...

    No bandages can I leave it?

    I agree with others: ER or doctor and a contact with a police and/or social services. Even if your father is fine for 99% of time, that 1% is still too much, especially if it wasn't the only time something like that happened. About your description of the wound: It would help to have a photo...

    Not always noticeable features,

    I do also that kind of thing. Usually when I am jogging or something. Climbing uphill I start mumbling stuff like that to myself and also some totally random words "three", "eight", "caterpillar" and so on... I don't know where they come from, but it is relieving. Like scratching an itch.

    Not always noticeable features,

    Speaking in a very precise and well-formulated manner, using long sentences and a lot of definitions. Sounding like a "little professor". Spending an hour to formulate a two-lines long forum message like this. (Edit: Oops... TBRS1 already came up with this, and with the first reply...) 🙄

    Don't Be Shy To Introduce Yourself

    Hi! Welcome! I wasn't only feeling like an alien, I was actually called alien - more accurately speaking, I was called UFO. I carry that name with pride, because I admit that it feels rather accurate description 😁

    At the Crossroads of Diagnoses

    What contributed, in your case, you to be diagnosed as ASD2 instead ASD1? I have got an impression from your randomly selected forum writings that you are quite well functional and independent with little to none support needs.

    How do I become more callous at work and not feel guilt?

    As above replies indicate, it all depends on type of your work and if workers are replaceable or assets. I'd also like to know what kind of events made you start this topic... Too little information to give any helpful opinions. I have worked my whole life in software engineering where social...

    So I've started a major project

    Those are beautiful images, I have to say... Good. I first thought that you were just having a new project within your interest, but I now realize that this is your interest. My problem was that I always had more and more things to focus on, so I had to prioritize what projects I work with...

    What portrayals of autism in the media AREN'T annoying?

    It is enough that you name characters that are not annoying, no need to consider them likeable 😎 She had traits? I saw both Swedish and American movies of the book and never paid an attention. That alone qualifies of not representing her as annoying, because that I would have noticed. But she...

    So I've started a major project

    My software special interest was killed by career I made out of it. Now I keep all software projects at arm's length. I do some tools and scripts, but only if there is a need for them - nothing for just fun anymore. But back in days before that: I had also 3D-rendering project, but it was the...

    What portrayals of autism in the media AREN'T annoying?

    My memories of Adam (2009) are vague, but while he was a stereotyped Asperger-case, he wasn't portrayed as an annoying or comical character. Only realistically hard to get on the same frequency -kind of guy. Please be free to correct me, I really don't remember the movie that well. In my...

    Any interests in movies applying meta-themes (metafiction)?

    Yes... Also Memento, Fight Club, Sucker Punch... Last one, if I remember correctly, was revealed to be told by mental hospital patient filtered thru her delusions, so we couldn't be sure even about the moments that were set to a real world. At my eyes, movie got better when I realized that aspect 🙂
